PEEAMBLE. 



Within the compass of humanity there is nothing which touches 
more powerfully the heart of the true philanthropist, than the 
destitute, forlorn condition of the poor Widow and Orphan. Bereft 
of their natural protector, exposed to the merciless bufferings of a 
selfish world — the one, with the finer sensibilities of her sex, 
cramped in her exertions to secure a maintenance — the other, 
with powers and capacity yet undeveloped, tossed about by the 
fierce waves of privation and hunger, andunguided impulse — they 
present the strongest claims to the sympathies of the good and 
benevolent. No charity, therefore, can be better applied than 
that which has for its object the amelioration of the condition of 
the Widow and Orphan. 

It would be a supererogatory task to point to the religious obli- 
gation, or to the duties and responsibilities that grow out of the 
inequalities of the social state, in order to prove more convincingly 
the sacredness of this cause. For as long as the faith in the 
"Holy One" shall be our guide, teaching us, that we are all chil- 
dren of one Heavenly Father, as long as charity, "the attribute of 
Heaven," shall animate our being — so long will the Widow and 
the Orphan be foremost among those who enlist the unwavering 
solicitude of every good Israelite. 

But whilst we recognize and admire each individual effort, to 
render cheerful the home of the Widow, and to protect the Father- 
erless, the precarious nature of such private relief must be obvious 
to every reflecting mind. A union of forces is required. The 
isolated sacrifices of the individual may prove insufficient, while 
the united exertions of the many, founded on a permanent basis, 
will effect the desired end.

PREAMBLE. 7 



In view of the increase of the Jewish population, and the too 
often fatal acclimating ordeal through which so many have to pass, 
an Institution for the relief of Jewish Widows and Orphans has 
become. a serious want. The existing Jewish charities, seconded 
by the private liberality of benevolent individuals, have been found 
insufficient to meet all demands. True, therefore, to the spirit in- 
culcated by an Holy Religion, and inherited through a long line of 
ancestors, the Association for the reliefo f Hebrew Widows and Or- 
phans has been founded. It is encouraging to bear witness to 
the uniform zeal manifested in the formation of this society. 
May the deep felt interest marking its incipiency, distinguish its 
future, and we may safely indulge the hope : 

"WITH GOD WE SHALL DO VALIANTLY."
